THE KING'S DAUGHTER
This has to by my favorite style of painting... just layering bits and pieces of paper scraps, using lots of gesso, and gel medium, then painting on top. It reminds me of when I was a little girl, and me and my sisters would all sit around our long wooden table with craft supplies spread from one end to the other, and we would each just go crazy making things...it was like an art feast!
It feels so good to finally be painting again... and I will definitely be posting on a much more regular basis! By the way, I've changed my website, so have a lookie if you'd like, and let me know what you think! www.shariyahgarner.com
After quite a long blogging break...I am back! I have done absolutely no painting this last month, well, that is... my own painting. I've been so busy doing interior/exterior house painting that I've found that by the time I've done an 8 hour day of that, I have no creative energy left!
...the good news is, that is now the past! Friday was my last official day 'on the job' and today was the first day in so long that I actually sat down and painted! I was starting to get that feeling that I'd forgotten how, so it felt so good to get it out of me! I've been so inspired lately with new creative ideas, and even more so since my mother, who is the one who taught me how to hold a brush, (www.rustedwingsgallery.blogspot.com) has been sending me photos of new paintings she has been working on, and my sister Xionah, who never even knew she could hold a brush, just out of the blue started painting some amazing paintings!
Here is one of my Mama's latest works
I love this one...dreaming of Springtime...sounds like me!
Here is Xionah's first painting!!! Can you believe it?!
How can I not be inspired to paint with these two?!?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL MAMA!!!
My mother has been an incredible inspiration to me throughout my life. She has strength beyond words, faith that is steadfast, a heart that overflows with amazing love, hope for the future, light that shines in the dark, and a warmth that I can feel though we are oceans apart.
I can't say in enough words how amazing you are to me, and how thankful I am to have you in my life. Thank you for being an amazing example of a God-fearing woman and mother
I love you more than you know
